Product details
Dalla Valle Maya 2000 is the flagship proprietary red blend from Dalla Valle Vineyards in Napa Valley, created as a tribute to Maya Dalla Valle, the daughter of founders Naoko and Gustav Dalla Valle. First introduced with the 1988 vintage, Maya has become the estate's signature expression, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the renowned Dalla Valle vineyard and complemented by a generous proportion of Cabernet Franc. This thoughtful composition highlights the individuality of the estate's hillside vineyards while reflecting Dalla Valle's unwavering commitment to precision, balance, and long-term aging potential. The 2000 vintage continues this legacy with a refined expression of the estate's distinctive terroir and meticulous craftsmanship.
The combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc creates a layered and elegant profile, balancing structure with finesse and showcasing the unique character of both varieties. Developed through careful maturation, the 2000 vintage offers a harmonious and polished expression that complements grilled beef, roasted lamb, duck, mushroom-based dishes, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts. With its historical significance, limited production, and enduring reputation, Dalla Valle Maya 2000 remains a highly regarded collectible from one of Napa Valley's most respected estates.
